Thank You for Making ArtFest 2025 a Huge Success!

What an incredible day! On Sunday, September 21, Artistree welcomed more than 400 community members to our campus in South Pomfret for the Second Annual ArtFest—a free fall celebration of creativity, connection, and community.

From the moment the first notes of music filled the air to the last shared cone of ice cream, ArtFest was alive with energy, laughter, and joy. Guests of all ages joined in dozens of interactive activities—from chalk art and ceramics painting to face painting, garden tours, cardboard creations and the bouncy house. Our local vendors brought art, food, and crafts to share, helping to make the festival a true showcase of local talent and generosity.

The music set the stage, with three fantastic live acts: the Grey Cats, the Onion River Jazz Band, and a special performance by the talented young performers of ACT Jr. Their enthusiasm and talent inspired us all and showed the bright future of the arts in our community.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us—families, friends, neighbors, artists, musicians, volunteers, vendors, and partners. Your presence made ArtFest more than just an event; you made it a celebration of all that makes our community strong and vibrant.

A heartfelt thank you to the Upper Valley Arts Alliance and the UV Arts For All initiative for amplifying creative connections across our region. And of course, our gratitude goes to the many generous supporters and volunteers who made this day possible and kept it free and open to all.

We can’t wait to do it again next year! Until then, let’s keep creating, connecting, and celebrating the arts together.
